“more persuasive than either tie Emglish or the

possessing fair but not resplendent excellence, Bol’s:

‘larly promising work, save in the painting. of the 
“hand—and the very handsome full /length by Cor- 
-nelis de Vos, the “Portrait of Mme. Van der. 
"Geest.”” On the other hand, there is nothing at all 
to admire in the ‘“‘Dutch Family,” attributed to Van 
der Helst, a painter whose corporation pieces, akin 
in, theirs brilliance ‘to those of Hals, are not even 
dimly recalled py this nerveless composition. The 
portrait by Van den Bosch is not bad. The ‘‘Lord 
Burleigh,” which in the catalogue is ‘“‘Ascribed to 
‘Sir Antonio Moro,’”’ only serves to remind us of the 
anecdote of the person who was taking a some- 
what cynical visitor through his new house. ‘This 
is our Louis Quinze room,” said the host, with 
“conscious pride. ‘What makes you think so?" was 


the bland reply. The “Madonna and Child and St.

A FETE day in Venice on the historic Grand Canal 
is represented here. Moored to the quay is a state 
barge manned by many oarsmen, and the water- 
way is full of craft, gondolas threading their way 
in and out. Behind is the ducal palace, its elabo- 
rate architecture catching the warm glow of the 
afternoon sun, and to the left rises the Campa- 
nile. A dense blue sky is overhead, and the ar- 
rangement of color is most attractive.

A BURGOMASTER / 


Puri and follower of Rembrandt, Ovens’ pic- 
tures have much in common with the great Dutch 
master, whose chiaroscuro he caught cleverly. 
Here we have a wonderfully able analytical rep- 
resentation of a Dutchman with gray hair and 
beard, wearing a cap and coat of black, trimmed 
with gold. The mouth is half open, and the eyes 
gaze intently at the spectator. All the details are 
admirably caught with unusual fidelity.

At the left is a brook in which stand some cattle, 
great masses of trees rising up from it, and a

THE serious face, earnest expression and look of { 
determination of this gray-bearded rabbi are 
admirably rendered by the distinguished Dutch 
painter and pupil of Rembrandt, whose influence 

is here quite evident. The man wears a cap of vel- 
vet and a black gown, with two rows of gold 
chains. The lighting is after the manner of the 
great painter of the “Anatomy Lesson,” a 
golden glow pervading the canvas. Flinck en- 
joyed a high reputation in his day, and had for 
patrons many important personages, including 
the Elector of Brandenburg and Prince Maurice

Jacob Cats, and the Prince of Orange-Nassau. 
He has a large painting at The Hague, “ Cele-

Orange.” A sober portrait is this now under con-

AN official portrait this of a royal personage 

whose characteristics evidently appealed to the 

painter, since he has rendered him with a faith- ae 
fulness and frankness most entertaining, exten- i 
uating nothing of his physical shortcomings. , 
Somewhat inclined to stoutness, with rotund face 
and drooping shoulders, his royal highness is 
garbed in a uniform coat of blue, a waistcoat of 
red, and wears across his breast a broad blue sash 
of watered silk. On his left breast is a large star, 
probably of the Order of the Garter, and the 
sitter wears a wig of gray, with a white lace col- 
lar caught by a jewel.

ARRAYED in a white dress and a turban from

represented full face, looking directly at the 
spectator. Brilliant coloring to the face, tender, 
sympathetic eyes and a sweet mouth make up a 
most attractive feminine personality. About her 
waist is a blue sash, and behind her is draped a 
curtain. Simply and frankly painted, the work is 
in Hoppner’s best vein, and is a notable example 
of this distinguished Georgian master, the most 
formidable rival of Sir Thomas Lawrence, who 
painted the royalty of his time with great success.

On the borders of a lake, near some ruins, a

verdure-clad hills rise up from the water, which 
is of a deep blue, reflecting a summer sky. A tall 
tree to the left comes boldly against the heavens, 
and the remains of a ruined palace are made out 
along the shore. On the hill-top is seen a tower, 
and the distance stretches away in pale, tender 
tints. A classic composition this, representative 
of the great English painter who in these later 
years has received his full share of attention and

ing on the arm, sits a young girl in an orange 
satin gown, elaborately trimmed with lace of the 
most exquisite design and richness. In her right 
hand she holds a fan of feathers with crimson 
embroidery, and about her neck is a rope of 
pearls. Dark, wavy hair falls over her shoulders, 
and a dainty, pathetic face looks out appealingly 
at the spectator. A red bow to the coiffure gives a 
note of color, and a green curtain is draped at the 
left. She is seated on a crimson cushion.

In this classic composition Wilson gives one of 
his characteristic pictures, showing a quiet stretch 
of lake surrounded on either side by great hills 
which rise up to enormous heights, the farther 
ones taking on a blue haze. To the right, on an 
eminence, stand some noble ruins, and to the left 
is a tower perched on a side hill. In the fore- 
ground are some fishermen, while the bare 
branches of a tall tree come against the sky. Bril-

AN interesting genre portrait this, showing, 
under the deep shade of an oak tree in a private 
park, the nobleman and his wife in the costume 
of the period. Sir Henry, in gallant fashion, is 
holding the hand of his spouse and leading her 
along a path. She, in elaborate gown, the skirts 
of which she holds in her right hand, steps for- 
mally out. Her powdered hair is dressed pompa- 
dour, and has some feathers in it, while the man 
wears a white wig. Behind is a bright landscape 
and glimpse of a lake. Nephew of the great 
Gainsborough, Dupont was not a little influ-

cattle to the field. A broken country stretches

THE BLIND SIMEON BLESSING

THE composition depicts the famous biblical in-

ing for the consolation of Israel, to whom it was 
revealed he should not see death before he had 
seen the Lord’s Christ. He was in the temple 
when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, and 
he took the Child in his arms, saying, “ Lord, 
now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, ac- 
cording to thy word; for mine eyes have seen thy 
salvation.” The holy Mother bends in prayer over 
the Infant, whom Simeon holds devoutly in his 
arms, his head thrown back in supplication. Pupil 
of Rembrandt in Amsterdam, and strongly in- 
fluenced by him, De Gelder secured much of his 
master’s scheme of color, the mellow tones here 
and the strong contrast of light and shade recall-

To the right of this comprehensive compositio 
with its vast stretch of territory, are some archi- 
tectural ruins of a temple, several columns yet 
remaining over which climb vines. A cascade 
near by tumbles over some rocks and falls into 
a stream, which winds along through a fair coun- 
try, past a town of considerable size and under a 
bridge, losing itself in the distance, whence be- 
gins an extended mountain range. Here and 
there on the hill-tops are palaces and broken 
walls, and to the left stands a group of trees 
coming against a mellow evening sky. In the 
foreground, engaged in conversation, stand two 
figures in classic draperies, and in the middle dis- 
tance a roadway makes across the water.

CHILDHOOD 


A BRIGHT-LOOKING little girl is seen in a wonder- 
fully mellow landscape. It is late afternoon, and 
the sun’s golden rays pervade the entire canvas. 
The subject looks directly at the spectator with 
clear blue eyes. She holds her frock tightly, for 
she has deposited there the nuts she has gathered. 
Little red slippers and a white muslin hood with 
a jaunty blue bow tend to make her most fasci- 
nating.

Wits much dramatic intensity the artist gives 
here a stirring coast scene, showing a wreck and 
a great concourse of people helping to save the 
unfortunate crew of the vessel, which is being 
pounded against the shore. The angry waves 
dash with great violence, sending masses of 
spray high up in the air. A sky of dark clouds, 
with patches of light here and there, discloses the 
end of the gale, and to the left is a cliff of for- 
midable rocks. Far away is the coastline with the 
distant sea. The people wear the quaint costumes 
of the last century, and are huddled together on _ 
the edge of the cliff on a grassy slope, and all 
shows a fine pictorial sense of unusual interest. 
Morland delighted in such compositions, for 
though his career was one of excesses, he man- 
aged to do much work and in great variety, 
painting all the phases of the life about him.

Copley FIELDING, a most distinguished English 
landscapist, was president of the Water Color 
Society for many years and a popular teacher. 
His works are eagerly sought for by connois- 
seurs. This representative canvas shows a vast 
expanse of country, with the sea in the distance 
and marshes making up to the shore. A road 
winds about, and in the immediate foreground 
a soldier in red uniform is seated in conversation 
with a young woman. Back of them a farm hand 
and his dog are near a herd of cattle, the evening 
hight throwing long shadows, while on a side hill 
graze some sheep. To the left are great trees, and 
a fallen tree-trunk in the shadow. The sky is filled 
with much brillianey, gray clouds catching the 
rays of the setting sun.

In a superb imperial robe of blue, with designs 
of conventionalized fleur-de-lis embroidered in 
gold and trimmed with ermine, the royal lady 
stands by a table near a great column, behind her 
being draped a red curtain. She wears a jewelled 
crown, and about her neck is an elaborate ruff of 
white lace with cuffs to match, and the waist is 
arranged with pearls and cut stones. From her 
shoulders hangs a long cloak lined with ermine, 
and about her wrists are strings of pearls, the 
whole costume being on a scale of the greatest re- 
gal magnificence. The floor upon which she stands 
is of tesselated marble. In the curious fashion of 
the day hoops worn under the skirt cause it to 
flare out, exaggerating the thinness of the waist. 
The hair, drawn back from the forehead, is pow- 
dered gray, and is waved gracefully. Appointed 
painter to Marie de Médicis in 1611, as well as to 
the Duke of Mantua, Pourbus spent some time 
at the court of Mantua, after which he came to

some rocks and a stream in the foreground. At 
the back is a line of hills, quiet and tender in tone, 
while a woodland runs through the middle dis-

grow in the pond, and the sky of rolling clouds is 
full of movement. A scene typically American in

CATTLE IN PASTURE 


UNpERr a brilliant summer sky in a rich meadow- 
land stand some cattle and a calf, all looking in- 
tently and directly at the spectator with inter- 
ested curiosity, in characteristic attitudes. Other 
cattle are in the middle distance under the shade 
of some trees, where a peasant woman rakes hay. 
The animals are drawn and painted with author-

lical subjects, of which many are in the various 
galleries of England and the Continent, and the

of blue and red, the left hand uplifted as He re- 
plies to the Pharisees, “ Render unto Cesar the % 
things which are Cesar’s.” The Oriental cos- q

THE subject of this porfya was the foun ore ee 4 
of the famous “ Almack’s,” in Kings Street, | ; 
St. James’s, London, where were given many 
parties and balls by the fashionable set. Gilly 
Willams, writing to Selwyn, says: “ Almack’s 
Scotch face in a bag wig, waiting at supper, 
would divert you, as would his lady, in a sack, 
making tea and courtesying to the duchess.” He 
died in 1781. Sir Joshua was anxious to become 
a member of Almack’s, and was present at one > 
of the balls given by the Ladies’ Club. This por- 
trait was engraved by Richard Josey in Rey- 
nolds’ Engraved Works, and is mentioned in Sir 
Walter Armstrong’s “ Reynolds.” 

Sir Joshua has painted Almack standing out of 
doors against some trees, on the branch of one of 
which he leans his right arm. He wears a wine- 
colored coat trimmed with gold braid, and the 
left hand rests on the hip. A white lace tie and 
cuffs are at the neck and wrists, and the face is 
smooth shaven. Some sky is seen at the right

THE RESCUE 


Upon a jetty that makes out into the ocean stand 
two men, one of whom has cast a hawser to a 
boat that is drifting at the mercy of great waves. 
It is filled with affrighted men and women, who 
sit about in despair, while one of the crew en- 
deavors to secure the line. Wreckage is in the sea, 
and in the distance a vessel, to the left, scuds 
under bare poles. The sky, of great dramatic 
force, is angry and sullen at the right, while to 
the left the sun struggles through the clouds, 
the composition possessing the liveliest interest. 
Stanfield, who was famous for such work, had 
much practical experience at sea, one of his well- 
known pictures being “'The Battle of Trafal- 
gar” and another “ The Wrecked Spanish Ar- 
mada,” and he was justly considered the leading 
marine painter of his day in England.

MADONNA AND ony 2? X hg 


SEATED on a rock, with a quaint landscape back 
of her, is a Madonna in robe of red and a blue 
wrap thrown over her knees. She holds on her 
lap a nude infant. About the head of each is a 
nimbus, and over the mother’s hair and neck is 
drooped a filmy lace veil. An expression of sweet 
maternal love illumines her countenance as she 
gazes downward, while the Child’s arm rests con- 
tentedly on her own. The rich dark tones of the 
background accentuate the brilliancy of flesh 
tints, which are fresh and luminous to a degree, 
and an evening sky gives sentiment to the scene.

CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA OF 
WALES, DAUGHTER OF KING 
GEORGE IV., MARRIED PRINCE 
LEOPOLD OF SAXE-COBURG, 
AFTERWARD KING OF THE 
BELGIANS 


Pupit of the Royal Academy schools, where he 
won many medals and prizes, Dawe soon at- 
tracted the attention of royalty, travelling in the 
suite of the Duke of Kent after the battle of 
Waterloo, and being commissioned by the Rus-: 
sian Emperor to paint portraits of: his officers in 
the Napoleonic wars. He did no less than four 
hundred of these, spending nine years in Russia. 
These works are in the palace of “ The Hermi- 
tage.” The royal lady in this picture is seated on 
a sofa upholstered in yellow satin, and she leans 
her right arm on a portfolio of drawings. Her 
left toys with a shawl. A red curtain is draped 
behind her over a pillar to the left, while to the 
right is seen a landscape. Dressed in an Empire 
gown of blue trimmed with rows of gold em-. 
broidery, she wears a waist and sleeves of thin 
white lace, caught at the neck by a turquoise pin. 
The head is turned to the left, and the hair is 
dressed high, arranged with pearls. 


Height, 56 inches; width, 44 inches. 


From the ee of the Duke of Cambridge.

THE SHEPHERD BOY 


Purit of Rembrandt and a distinguished por- 
trait and history painter, Eeckhout gives here in 
this compositon an adequate notion of his taste 
and craftsmanship in an important canvas, show- 
ing a little shepherd boy with a sheep. The lad is 
seated to the right, a staff between his knees and 


oh) 


ee , A 


a red cloak over his arm. In one hand is a shell. . 


He looks directly at the spectator. A ram in coat 
of wool and with curling horns stands beside him, 
while behind stretches away a landscape with hills 
and trees. The lad’s legs are bare, and his golden 
curls fall over his shoulders.

A DUTCH FAMILY 


Purit of Frans Hals, as well as of Nicolas Elias, 
Van der Helst settled at Amsterdam while very 
young, and lived there the greater part of his 
career. He was a prominent painter of por- 
traits, of which the present is a characteristic ex- 
ample, showing father, mother and child on a 
porch, with flat lands and sea as background. The 
woman, dressed in an embroidered black gown, : 
is seated in a chair of crimson upholstery. Her a. 
brown hair is arranged with pearls, similar jewels 
being in her ears. She wears a broad white collar 
of lace and cuffs of same, while in her hand she 
holds a handkerchief on her knee. The right hand, 
wearing several rings on the forefinger, rests on 
the arm of the chair, and the motherly face is seen 
three-quarters. The husband, a very handsome 
man, also garbed in black, with white collar and 
cuffs, is standing with his left hand extended, 
and to the left of the canvas stands a little child 
in brown, holding up a white apron in which are 
some grapes. A balustrade crosses the composi- 
tion, and a green velvet curtain is draped over a 
stone column to the right.

PORTRAIT OF 
MADAME VAN DER GEEST 


FRIEND of Van Dyck, dean of the Guild of St. 
Luke at. Antwerp, De Vos painted many histori- 
cal pictures and portraits, examples of which 
may be seen in many Kuropean museums. In this 
superb and most important work we have a beau- 
tiful woman elaborately apparelled in black, 
trimmed with pearls, standing on the balcony of 
a sumptuous residence. A green chair is beside 
her, and on it she rests the tips of the fingers of 
her right hand, while in the left she holds a fan 
of white feathers. A little white spaniel lies on 
the chair. Behind her is draped a red curtain, and 
about her neck is a great ruff of delicate lace, 
cuffs of the same being over her wrists. She 
wears a rope of pearls. The face is of great love- 
liness, and the dark hair curls about the fair fore- 
head, dancing black eyes looking out at the spec- 
tator. The work is signed on the chair to the left.

A WOODLAND ROAD 


- Purpit of Crome and the schools of the Royal 
Academy, Stark painted long in his native town 
of Norwich. This typical landscape, essentially 
English, shows a road through a woodland 
wherein one sees a cart with two horses lumber- 
ing along. In it is the farmer’s family, and some 
dogs follow. To the right, drinking from a pool, 
are some cattle, and under the trees the sunlight 
here and there catches the grassy slopes.

THE DESTRUCTION OF LI nee 


NIOBE’S CHILDREN 


First a portrait painter, numbering among his 
sitters the Prince of Wales and the Duke of 
York, Wilson made a visit to Italy and took up 
landscape work upon the advice of Zuccarelli. A 
very grandiose and unusually important compo- 
sition this, showing the goddess on the Cynthian 
mountain with her sons. Ismenos on his steed is 
struck with an arrow sent by Diana in the clouds 
to the left. The two younger sons, wrestling, are 
pierced by a single shaft. Alphenor, rushing to 
help them, is stricken down, while Ilioneus, with 
arms raised, appeals to the gods, all too late, since 
an arrow strikes him too. It is a dramatic scene, 
with a torrent rushing over some rocks to the 
right, and some storm-wrecked trees coming 
against an angry sky. A rolling country spreads 
out to some distant mountains which tower 
against the heavens.

Preparatory to. their Bale at. auction in) 
Mendelssohr Hall, beginning next Thurs-) 
day evening, 124 pictures, owned by Mr, T.) 
J. Blakestee, and for “the most part im-| 
portant and characteristic examples of the 
early > English, “Wrench and Dutch por-| 
traitists, were placed on exhibition yester-) 
day at the American Art Galleries. 

AS a whole the collection is one of un-) 
usual beauty and distinetion, and is un- 
doubtedly ihe best Mr. Blakeslee has yet) 
‘offered for sale. It has not only a high) 
average of merit and its.examples sélected| 
with regard to their respective quality, but 
evident care’ ‘has been exercised’ to give 
each canvas a correct attribution. 

. A. beautiful and. important canvas is 
“The Assumption,” from the collection of 
Cardinal Antonelli, with much of Murillo’s 
quality and style, but which is properly 
eredited to his pupil, Francisco Osorio. It. 
is to be feared that in some’ cullections, 
offered at auction this would have been 
eatled a Murillo. Again, the lovely por- 
trait of a little girl, called ‘‘Childhood,’ 

which has the quality, the féeliug and the 
cojor of Reynolds, is catalogued simply as| 

"ascribed to” that painter. 

MANY BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLES, 


There is also a beautiful and effective 
portrait of. a young Spanish Princess, 
which has every mark of genuineness, but 
here again Mr. Blakeslee takes no’ risk 
and cavalogues it as “ascribed to Juan de 
Miranda.” This care in selection and at- 
tribution, added to the general beauty and 
distinction of the colleetion, gives it. al- 
most'a place apart among the more nota- 
ble‘ picture collections offered for sale this 
season. 

A list of the more important. canvases, 
with their description, has. already. been 
given in the HERALD.
